Are you a collector?

With all the chatter about the changes, good or bad, I thought I'd put up a more light-hearted subject:

Corpses.

I know some people like to scoop the biomass of the vanquished and then decorate the inside of their hangars with them. Whose former biomass is the centrepiece of your collection? And whose haven't you acquired yet but are reserving a special place for?

So far, this seems a pretty general topic, but I'm interested to see how rivalries have played out in wormholes. And given what a friendly community it seems to be, people may even offer to help getting that last corpsicle that you're missing.

You have no idea.

Regarding my biomass centrepiece, its my CEO took a few years to acquire but I got it.

Not sure if there is a real competition for corpses or hunt for them, my alliance will say otherwise however when I'm lurking about as I go for each and every corpse I see, died in the process a few times too. Some treat it as a hobby like me.

Just to give you a general idea, I have over 3600 corpses catalogued by name from my collection and a few hundred scattered over New Eden that aren't listed.

I like scooping Corpses before Chunky can get to them :)

I can usually be seen scrounging around after ops, scooping the frozen biomass into my cargo. The parties afterwards have been described as "awkward". Big smile
I scouted a Null K hole once, had my companions hold on the final crash jump so I could D-scan down and scoop a corpse floating in a belt. My collection is small right now, but I am sure it will grow.
Right now, I think the centerpiece of my collection thus far is someone I used to fly with in Incursion fleets and briefly in a wormhole.

Yeah, I don't have any big name peeps really. I did scoop Kyle Brutor when he himself podded out after the Goon eviction, but otherwise my corpses are from kills. I like to keep them around so I can reminisce about the fun we had that day. I don't usually bring them with me on roams, except for Colin Maricadie.... I kept him in my proteus for quite awhile. Brought me luck... and.... other stuff.

Yeah, well, it's just like my opinion, man.

My CEO is such a necro that he requires all corpses be scooped before any loot.

I've got a nice collection of corpses, probably around 700 at least from w-space right now, I think it's a good hobby and it makes me have something like a trophy, for example when I'm scouting and when I find something which is really valuable to kill, I like to have that guys corpse if possible, just to have it as a trophy and maybe that reminds me of the fight in few months/years and I remember how good feeling it was Pirate.

I was so hoping that the Captain's Quarters was going to allow us to display our dead trophies.

Maybe this should be a proposal for CCP?

This is true. Failure to collect corpses is punishable by joining my collection.

most of them I keep in a station/hangar pile, only special ones accompany me in ships, for luck and cuddles

I even had myself as a teddy bear once
